too many amazing things happening right now to include in a single blog post! it's been a truly incredible week.

1. i took my boyfriend surprise skydiving for his birthday yesterday. we've both wanted to do it since we were little, so it was an absolutely magical day. jumping out of an airplane is the best thing i've ever done. i cannot WAIT to do it again. it's the most natural, amazing, relaxing, beautiful experience that i've ever had... i wasn't nervous at ALL- it was pure excitement and euphoria. i am officially addicted to skydiving.

2. i am putting in my 30 day notice at my studio AND my apartment tomorrow... because i just signed a new lease for my DREAM apartment in echo park, which i will be working from home in. i can't wait to post photos- it's truly the most magical place i've ever seen, with a view of the lake and a rooftop overlooking the lake for me to spend every summer day on top of. this decision has been a hard one for me to make, but i KNOW that it's the right choice- i am too in love with nature to be spending so much time in downtown los angeles. i will be running crystallized from home again, but i could not be happier about it.

well, that was a whole lot of personal-non-fashion-related news... but sometimes (always) i use my blog to vent.

oh, check out my amazing friend nicki's blog to see her post about being a hand model for unearthen yesterday! she does have ridiculously pretty hands. wish i'd been there yesterday to see you in action, nicki!

I don't doubt that was a hard decision to make, since you just got the studio and put a lot of time into moving in...alas, getting a new apartment and working from home sounds like a way better deal. I imagine the amount of bills you'll be paying will be cut significantly, plus it's just always awesome to work where you're so comfortable!

Skydiving is the biggest rush ever! I wish I could do it everyday! and I can without a doubt say, you have to have the greatest collection of boots.

I hope you know that I am forcing you to hang out this weekend, so you had better be in town!

nicki said...

Ahh! Thank you for the shout-out! I still can't believe you went skydiving, it's something I've wanted to do since I was a little kid too, but unlike you, I know I would be freaking out once I am up in there in the sky, getting ready to jump! It makes me so giddy to think about it though, you have to tell me all about it. Like Madeline said, this weekend-- HANG OUT TIME! Let's do Sage and then watch Tree of Life?

Oh, and you are so pretty and I love these DIY projects you're doing!
